How to change the buffer in on RC5, and is 3,19mkeys good..

K I have downloaded my 3 workunits first time I only got like 30gnodes seccond time it was 460 now it is 500. Is there anyway to configure the ini file so I ony download like 250gnodes? (yes I'm running RC5)

BTW Is this normall:

My max is 3,19mkeys (for now) and any gnodes it get finished with the mkeys drop a bit like from 3,19 to 3,17 etc.. Well I guess it is like seti.. move the mouse much and it slows down....

It's normal. For 160Mhz more at 1070Mhz, i get 3.73MKeys/s. It seems proportional.

It sounds to me like you are mixing up vocabulary. In OGR the standard workunit is a stub, each of which contains an unknown number of nodes.

In RC5, you download packets which contain a certain number of work units (which you specify in your INI file) each work unit takes the same time to complete, but you may be working on a packet containing multiple work units.

Assuming that you want to run RC5, you need to have these lines in you INI:

[misc]
project-priority=RC5,DES=0,CSC=0,OGR=0

to adjust the number of packets and the size of the packets use these lines:

[rc5]
fetch-time-threshold=36
preferred-blocksize=33

the first line tells the client to download 36 hours worth of packets. The second line tells the client to request the largest packet size (2^33 keys). On your machine 2^33 keys should take less than an hour to complete, so there is no reason to use anything lower.

Hope this helps, and feel free to post again if you have more questions or I need to clarify something.

sciencewhiz thx for correcting me 🙂 I'm new to RC5 so all vocabulary for RC5 is kind of unknown for me. But I'll get there 😉.

I'll test your command line.. I did fix it so it only runs RC5 but hey.. I run SETI when I'm at work and RC5 when I'm home.. So I really dont want to have so hugh packetts.. Want to be able to upload packetts once a day..
